We find the orignal information for this project here.
This is a report and analysis on Seattleās bicycle sharing trends. The data includes weather reports for the area (excluding summer logistics), the station locations, as well as trips taken by cycle riders. Future explorations of this type of data could include investigating more extensively overall public transportation data trends for this area. This would serve to establish a better understanding of public transportation trends. Interestingly enough, this transportation company has since dissolved and the data points that were collected from this company are therefore older. Thus, these trends are potentially not reflective of bicycle sharing as it stands in Seattle to date.
Look how widespread the rental stations are all over Seattle (see Figure 2.1)!

Figure 2.1: Seattle Bike Station Locations
For optimal viewing, here are the station whereabouts with some zoom for location precision.
Figure 2.2: Closeup
Look at all those stations! Its hard to believe this company managed to go out of business!
Figure 2.3: Bike Count
Quite a few bikes to choose from!
Figure 2.4: Bikes Per Station
11 stations lost bike docks, 39 docks stayed the same, 8 stations gained docks.
Figure 3.1: Daily Riders
People really like going on fall and spring rides multiple times a day. Can you blame them though, Seattle in the fall is remarkable!!

Figure 9.2: Trip Cost for Members v. Non-Members
It is definitely worth it to be a member vs.Ā a nonmember, there are many associated costs if you arenāt.(see Figure 9.2)!
Riders tend to be aged towards the upper 20s, but this number could be misleading because we donāt have any real identifiers for the users (i.e.Ā is one 20 year old taking 100 trips a day, or if there are a ton of 20 year olds using the service one time).
